• Overview

  Ibsen Pond lies in Timiskaming District, in Ontario. The water sits 331 metres up. Surface area runs to about 2 hectares — small enough to read in one session. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Timiskaming District. The town to know is Haileybury, 11 km out. Greater Sudbury is the closest city, 140 km away. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Ibsen Pond

  We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Open biodiversity records for Timiskaming District list brook trout, northern pike, yellow perch and Iowa darter. It is the county picture; the agency list is water-specific. Ibsen Pond gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 18°C and January at -16°C. The freeze arrives properly here and holds. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from late April. Climate figures give an open season running late April to late November. Fish feed hardest at the start and the close of the open season. On Ibsen Pond the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Failing this one, try Columbus Lake, 0.6 km away. Nothing on Ibsen Pond should be assumed from this page alone.
